PATRIARCHY<\/p>\n
Can you smell the stench… of festering beliefs
\nin the murky cesspool of your mind?
\nAs daughter after daughter after daughter
\nfalls. Ah! But you can’t hear, you’re deaf and blind!<\/p>\n
There’s acid on her soul with a flick of your wrist
\nThe wretch, your advances did try to resist
\nYour dagger, it glitters as your sister’s blood spills
\nexactly as patriarchy demanded and wills
\nIt’s your honour you defend cause obviously, she has none
\nYou’ll find her and hunt her, she has nowhere to run!
\nDon’t leave her alone even in the womb
\nThe moment you smell her, send her to her tomb
\nShe likes to dress nice, she’s sugar and spice
\nShe must be ravaged, your lust she’s enticed!<\/p>\n
Scoff now and tell me, I speak of folklore
\nthese are ancient stories, you heard of before
\nThen why as I walk in the DARKNESS alone
\nMy heart is a pounding, I’m clutching my phone?
\nMy heart is a pounding, I’m clutching my phone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
